Ecological learning theory incorporates investigation of how learning mechanisms might have evolved, what selection pressures might have contributed to this evolution, and what biological function that learning serves. Here, the author has undertaken a comparative analysis of basic learning processes, an analysis of the biological function of various learning processes, a discussion of the way in which evolutionary processes and selection pressures might have shaped different learning capacities, and description of some of the proximal mechanisms that mediate some forms of learning.
